14. •Meals:-The food element constitutes a
major part of the tour package which is
provided along with the hotel package
itself. Although the room packages can be
sold without meals also, most of the times
the passengers like to have only the
breakfast included in the package.
However, in some cases the dinner is also
included.

15. •Internal transportation-
The mode of transport
used by the passenger to
travel within or around
thedestination for the
purposes of sightseeing,
excursions and the
transfers from one place
to the other is also
included in a tour
package most often than
not.
